MSN Contacts

Haly · 07-08-2006, 18:15

Does anyone know if MSN Messenger automatically deletes contacts after a set amount of time of them not logging in?
Just noticed a contact that hasn't logged in for a year, is no longer on my contacts list. So just wondered.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't - until I had a clear up a couple of months back I have a couple of people on my contact list who hadn't logged in for about 2 years.

I've had a couple dissapear too. Odd.

I too have noticed the same thing - most odd indeed!

:/
I can't remember exactly when it vanished. But I know it's been a year and 3 days since he last logged on (it's the friend that got killed hence why i know the exact date).
Weird, bit annoying too.

I expect at least passport/hotmail accounts have a time-out. Other accounts probably stick around.

I wish some people would disappear so I wouldn't have to ban them... I guestimated my block list to be around 400+ people now!

All of you however are welcome to add me - as you all rock very much.

I did have multiple hotmail accounts but I didn't use them enough and I think they've expired as I can't log onto it anymore and it asks me to sign up a new email account - it could be possible that they get deleted off the MSN network.

Same. I set up a seperate account for close friends/work people, but it rarely got used, so I abandoned it. My MSN list isn't that big as I don't advertise it anywhere (except here).

I used to have a work MSN and a personal MSN - problem was I got so bored at work I just stopped using it and only use my Kell_ee001 now

But I'm not as mean as Will

I've only got a handful of people blocked and each of them totally deserved it!

I will do - as soon as I can log in.
MSN can't log in as it says the service is unavailable but I think that's due to the sporadic nature of t'internet connection on the rig just now.

In fact, as soon as I can get a decent connection, you're all getting added

I don't use it much but I have been known to have the odd conversation now and then.

Anybody who wants to, please feel free to add me.
